The Worst Idea Of All Time - Friendzone Eighty Five

Episode Date: June 26, 2019

The fellaz are in a dog park in Chicago enjoying the sights, sun and canines while going through a few unanswered questions from the live show the night before. But in actuality, it's mainly Tim getting distracted by lovely dogs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well it's the friend zone, with Tim and Guy, come to the friend zone, and have a good time, yes it's the friend zone, with Tim and Guy, cause making friends is the best idea of all time. Hello, and welcome to the friend zone, with Tim and Guy, in a park now, we're in Chicago, that didn't rhyme. That didn't rhyme. Close enough. That's right. We're in Churchill Field Park in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago. We're right next to the dog-friendly area. We're actually right next to a dog park. I'm looking at dogs.

I think that's the dog. Maybe that's, I don't know if the park's all dog-friendly or that's the specifically designated dog-friendly area. But we're having a wonderful time. We just had one of Stan's iconic donuts. What did you say? Stan a donut. Tim, Stan's a donut.

And we have here a bank of questions that were submitted but not answered at our live episode at Sleeping Village last night. Thank you so much to anyone who came. And also a very special shout-out to those who didn't come. Yeah, shout-out to everyone who wasn't at our Chicago live show last night. I want to shout you out. I want to say good on you. You applied some critical thinking to the situation and assessed it wasn't for you for whatever reason.

Was that reason because you live outside of the continental United States? For some of you, yes. Yeah. Some of you, you live in in Chicago you still didn't come and I'm all right with that I respect the hell out of that people who did come well fucking cool and we had a great time I think what Tim's trying to say is we we got the the best ones came uh so we have a a few questions to get there actually on oh we're not doing any um yeah of course of course I'll put my if FR Digital Correspondence.

We're on a little bit of a timer because we're going to go and have one of Chicago's famous deep dish pizzas. Yeah. At a place called P-Quads. P-Q-U-O-D-S, I think is what it is. Everyone, when you say you're going to Chicago, they always say you've got to go to P-Quads. The eating's been good here. Eating's been so good. You had a burger last night.

You said it changed your life. It fucking did. What is it called? Little Horse? Au Cheval. Little Cheval. Au Cheval, which is French for Little Horse. We both had, and listen, everyone, if you're keeping up,

because I have announced on the podcast that I'm vegan, which is true some of the time, but when I do leave the country, I often get very fucking lax, because I just don't want to deprive myself too much. And this burger that we had last night was so fucking tasty. I don't know what they did to it, because it was just a cheeseburger. Yeah. But it was, like, just really perfect. Like, every part of it was perfect.

Across the entire nation of America, this is a renowned burger, is my understanding. It's like there's crack in it or something. The brioche bun was just sweet and buttery enough without going over the edge. The meat was perfect. The proportions were bang on. Everything was just so. Anyway, sorry. Let's get into some of these questions.

This one reads, have you ever tried watching two hours straight of Entourage? No. Which one of you is more of a proud Miranda? Or do you feel for Steve and hate her? Sorry, I just got distracted because the dog was just taking a shit. It looks like Batman's dog. It's one of those ones. I will say I think I'm a proud Miranda.

I think I'm the most vocal fan of Miranda. I do feel for Steve somewhat later when she refused to forgive him, but ultimately, I don't even know why I'm talking about the fucking movie. I have watched Two Hours Straight of Entourage. I used to love Entourage. I have watched two hours straight of Entourage. I used to love Entourage. I wrote an essay in undergrad, like a media studies 101 paper.

I wrote an essay, get this, about Entourage. I described Entourage as sex in the city for men. Finally. Wow. We carved out a little corner of the media landscape just for us. We came from a similar place because I did a media studies essay in high school and Van Wilder, party liaison by choice. I'm delighted to say that I think we've grown a lot. Can we see Tim's power stance in Guy's Kate Winslet relax mode?

Joe from England. England the country? Yeah, yeah. The answer is no. I'm sorry, because this is an audio medium. If we had picked that one on stage, so I'm sorry about that. I'm going to do it. Okay, I'm describing Guy is lounging back in one of those kind of sexy

paint-me-like-your-French-girl poses right now for me, and I tell you what, gorgeous. Thank you. In honor of World Pride and the 50th anniversary of stonewall can you guys have a little kiss this is very funny that this has come up because we hadn't released the episode for new york live before we did chicago so no one could have heard that they couldn't possibly possibly have. But someone asked the, well, they had the request, can you guys kiss? And we did.

Yeah. It was really nice. It was. And happy Pride Month to everyone. Yeah. I want to say as well. Happy Pride life. Pride to all, forever and ever.

Celebrate. For a thousand years. Your love of Timbette and Pride Month by watching the male gaze, G-A-Y-Z, or Z, depending on where you're from, on YouTube, a show that I produced. Hey, look, there's a border collie coming over here.

Starring two very cool gay comedian mates of ours, Chris and Eli. Man, that's a good dog. Oh, fuck, border collies are the shit. Tim keeps eyeballing the dogs and saying, dogs don't get theirs. Last time I was here at Littlefield, it was... Wait a minute.

Littlefield. Oh, wow. Oh, we've cross-pollinated. We have. All right. That's all right. That's okay. Last time I was here at Littlefield,

it was for a fundraiser for Cynthia Nixon's campaign for governor. Oh, gun to your head. Which of the ladies in character would you vote for uh after spending 1 000 plus hours with them jeez that's a hell of a condition well i think we've already put in the legwork i think that that question takes the fact that we've spent a thousand hours with all of these characters i mean not Oh, I see, I see, I see. I mean, not to confuse... Jesus, look at the size of that. Is it a St. Bernard?

That is a St. Bernard. Fuck, they're big. They are big boys, aren't they? Beautiful. Because they look like little dogs. Like, everything about them looks like a little dog, but someone's just zoomed in on it. Yeah, they put a...

What's the opposite of a shrink ray? Like an enlargement gun. I don't know. So, in character, who would it be? It would be the same as out of character. It's Miranda. She's the most qualified for the job. She's the one who shows, I mean.

She's got a legal background for crying out loud. Reportedly, they all have a good work ethic, but she's the person we see fretting over her work and actually applying herself at her job. Good question. Unanimous answer what do you think copper goes up to during the events of the first film there's been a source of speculation and uh i at one point put it that he was on the cusp of a

nervous breakdown a midlife crisis converting from a shaggy biker with a couple of big meat chops hanging out at a local coffee spot on the lower east side near Miranda's house but that theory was shot down and the good news is I'm totally over it I think he's probably maybe sampling all of the different java shops on Manhattan searching for the best one at which you can post up and live in. There were people living at the cafe we were at just before. Yeah, big time. We walked past... Well, no, sorry, we went in.

I got a coffee from there. It's fine coffee. I'm not going to name the place, though. There were people in there going... Yeah, there were people going about their lives. Not their days, but their lives. A woman had a huge stack of mail in front of her, just opening letters, saying what she needed to catch up on.

There was a full-on business running in there with multiple employees, everyone had a laptop. And on the other spectrum of things, a man lounging back, reading an old-fashioned newspaper. And it looked like he had been there for some time. I just don't know how you can make a profitable cafe when you keep people in there for that long, you know? It's always baffled

me. I always feel very guilty if I'm in a cafe for too long. I'm like, oh, you guys are going to go out of business if I stay. Americans kind of do things different. People have no shame in rocking up and just putting in a six-hour session over a coffee. I hiccuped so is it me or is it you yeah what film will you watch for season five um as always we have

no idea what happens after the final episode of season four we just don't yeah don't. We just don't. I agree with that. To use an analogy that is wasted on nearly everyone, I think of this tour as Kawhi Leonard in the immediate aftermath of winning the NBA finals. And everyone says to Kawhi, Kawhi, which team are you going to play for next year?

Are you going to keep playing for the same team? And Kawhi says, look, I just want to celebrate the championship. And that's how it feels to me I've got a really good one for you famous people get that all the time movie actors they're like when they just finished they just rapped on something like so what's what's happening next what's going on it's like dude can we not I like just did a big old project some people buy into that though the most productive people who i assume are also the most happy in their personal lives yeah it's definitely one one-to-one uh what is the plot of sex in the city great question that question comes from mark great question the plot of sex in the

city is carrie bradshaw is to be wed to john jameson after they find a dream apartment together. And John cannot deal with the emotional weight, heft of the commitment of marriage, so bails. And then we are left to deal with the aftermath of a broken Carrie Bradshaw. Meanwhile, unfortunately, Steve Brady has slept with someone outside of his marriage and Miranda has taken it very hard, kicked him out. Well, no, she left actually, got another apartment, and we deal with the aftermath of that. They eventually get back together, spoiler alert.

And Samantha Jones deals with living across country in the west coast for the first time we kind of led to believe ever and the difficulties that that presents for her relationship which spoiler alert ends charlotte exists oh she has a baby i forgot nice Nice. What's he doing? Where's he off to? You can say my name, Lee Metzger. Can we get to the bottom of that? What was he doing? Where was he off to?

Where's he off to? Honestly, job interview. In Chicago. No, that's why he was in such a rush. Yeah. He woke up in Manhattan. He got the address wrong by a state or two. He's on his pins all the way to Chicago.

It can happen to the best of us. This one says, Tim's becoming more and more invested in watching the interplay between the dogs and less invested in the friend zone. No, no. I thought that was the question when you started saying that, Cedars. We've smoked a lot of weed, I'll be honest with you all. That wasn't painfully obvious

by my distracted replies to that. Who's funnier, Timbo or Guy Guy? Guy Guy, without a doubt. That is untrue. I'm going to take this one. If you had to pair up the Beatles to Sex and the City Woman

who would go with who oh who would be who so they're not they're not partnering up they're just Carrie is John Lennon Samantha is Paul

yeah Samantha is Paul McCartney Charlotte is Ringo and Miranda is George Harrison that's pretty good yeah yup Charlotte is Ringo and Miranda is George Harrison. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yup.

And I feel that with every fiber of my being. I like that. Almost as though I've subconsciously considered that before. Yeah. Can we do that with another band? The Stones. I don't know enough band members. Oh yeah, I don't know ronnie watts charlie watts charlie watts ronnie woods keith richards and mcjagger uh so jaggers carry yeah richards is samantha it's sort of what it does do is outline who the most prominent two

figures in the six and city universe are yeah so carries on carries the lead yeah uh samantha's lead. Samantha's second. And then, I guess, Charlie Watts, just because of his appearance. I know that he's not, but by all accounts, he looks the most like a square or sort of down the line figure, which I think would align him with Miranda. But also incredibly smart and a bit low-key about that fact. I think that

matches with George Harrison. And then Ronnie Woods is Charlotte. Because he's an extra band member. And they've got similar hair. Hey, isn't Ronnie Woods with a woman who's like a quarter his age? Anything is possible. If you believe in yourself, kids, you can achieve anything.

You can do anyone. Which of the Fab Four's outfits would you most want to wear? Why so many Beatles questions? Oh, wait. The Fab Four being the... Okay, my bad. You're good, my brother.

Well, when you say the Fab Four, that's what people call the Beatles, wasn't it? The Fab Four? Yeah, but this question was not written... Yeah, yeah, you're right. I was primed for that. Okay. Well, are we allowed to go sex in the city too because i would yeah go for it um what carrie bradshaw was wearing in the desert on the camel ride

what is she wearing it's like a flowing dress i think it's because it's quite hot here in chicago so i'd be down with a bit of airflow and it's very beautiful from memory i think it's it's like a green green and white sort of a pattern it's like a green and white. It's predominantly green. And it's got some jewel-esque kind of... Is it what she's revealed to be wearing when they do that sort of Arabian Night, Sex and the City theme reveal? That's it. Is that green? And she's wearing sort of a headscarf as well to protect you from the sun. I couldn't put in a... The only outfit that comes to my mind that I can vividly imagine and describe

is Charlotte's polka dot maternity, sort of couture maternity dress that she wears when she runs into Big. Why does that stand out for you? And what does that say about you? I think it's timeless. I think that the outfit could be worn today without anyone casting a second look, even in the fashion industry. I think I probably, you know, like it the best.

Just Google image search Sex and the City 2 to see if this dress will come up. Oh, here we go. Yep, here we go. Oh, whoa, I was way off man i was off man was i off um carrie bridge was wearing almost like alvis is a woman and goes to saudi arabia style outfit is it all white yeah it is um do you know what i'd like to change my answer to what Miranda's wearing The psychedelic cowgirl outfit That shit's wild I really like that She's got a cowboy hat and a multicoloured

Like a technicoloured dress And you are wearing a lot of loud shirts on this trip So it makes sense What do you think of that guy? Because it's more traditionally I think of a guy move To be rocking around in a succession of loud shirts I think it's great It's working for

you i see it and i love it it's fun cool man it's a good energy to bring to any situation people get into it too people are enjoying the shirts they're commenting on the shirts um it's all it's it's it's all for you dear listener can i just say that this border collie that's been uh sort of running by us now and then is playing lacrosse with its owner, and they're both having as much fun as each other. He is doing some moves. It looks like he's getting value as either training or a fun way to get out there and move your body.

The dog is, I mean, as any dog is when chasing a ball, grinning ear to ear. It's really nice it's a beautiful wholesome park that we are sinisterly posting up into recorder friend zone uh the last question why have you never mentioned the belt that carrie wears in like four or five scenes a good question and a bad question because we did mention this um on someone brought it to our attention was it on the friend zone i'm not sure i think it might have been someone uh got in and was like hey i've only watched the movie once i said okay i think from memory this is how it went but based on my last attempt at remembering something with carrie's dress i don't

have a lot of faith someone wrote into us to us. They said, I've watched the film once with my boyfriend, but based off that, I can't get over the fact you don't talk about the belt all the time. The studded belt. I'm going to look out for it tomorrow, because if that is true, I don't remember being alerted to it or the conversation. And to even read

the question then, I was like, well, I'll tell you why, because I haven't been looking at this belt. Apparently it appears several times, which is quite a fashion faux pas in a film that prides itself on multiple outfit changes it's one of the few things that sets this movie in the world of reality guy how are you feeling so relaxed that's good guy is now vertical everybody he's looking horizontal oh sorry yeah that's what i mean you're all over the show I am a little bit that's alright oh it's pretty funny

no I'm just we parked up under some trees which is nice I'm so relaxed it's a big blue sky it's 30 celsius I'd say it's high 70s

fahrenheit it's it's good life is good just saw a dog go from sitting bolt upright to lying down as you are, but like crumble to the ground.

That was funny. After the deep dish pizza, which I understand is just a cheese soup on a crust. God, that sounds unappealing. We're going to go on a architecture boat tour from Navy Pier. So we are really experiencing the best of chicago in our 36 hours here i'm really excited for that i'm just feeling so relaxed right now it's crazy i recommend if you've got a spare hour um this day week or months for you go and find a local dog park and just just watch the buggers because it's so joyous they're so nice i think that

message brought to you by weed bye everyone see you in portland oregon and los angeles california well it's the friend zone with tim and guy come to the friend zone and have a good time yes it's the friend zone With Tim and Guy Cause making friends is the best idea of all time
